Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) wearies them
(Some words not found in UHB: toil the,fool wearies,him which/who not knowing to=go to/towards (a)_city )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Fools become weary by their toil” or “Fools feel tired by the work that they do”
(Occurrence 0) so that they do not even know the road to town
(Some words not found in UHB: toil the,fool wearies,him which/who not knowing to=go to/towards (a)_city )
This could mean: (1) “so much that he is unable to find the road to town.” That the foolish person becomes so tired from working too hard that he is unable to find his way anywhere, or (2) “because he does not even know the way to town.” That the foolish person becomes tired from working too hard because he does not know enough to go home.
